Description
The practical collection of competition solos that are included in this book were selected from state competition lists throughout the United States. While each selection is included on the list of at least one state, check with your director, private instructor or state music association to confirm that your desired solo is an approved selection in your state. The piano book includes alternate accompaniments for instruments of different pitch and therefore can be used for any instrument in the book one series. Codes to download audio are included on each solo book. Titles include: Cripple Creek; Dance of the Bears; Gavotte; Happy Song; Harvest Waltz; Little Caesar; Rooster; Swan; The Tortoise and the Hare.

More about this title
Why we love this
These solos come pre-vetted against actual state competition requirements, which means less research time for you and more confidence that your student's preparation will count. The collection spans multiple character types and technical approaches, so you can match repertoire to your student's strengths rather than force-fitting them into one mold.
What to expect
The collection balances lyrical passages with character pieces that sit comfortably in the intermediate range. You'll find folk-inspired melodies like Cripple Creek alongside more whimsical selections like The Tortoise and the Hare, each with enough musical personality to engage both player and listener without excessive technical demands.
Who it's for
Trumpet players preparing for state competitions, whether they're competing as soloists or in small ensemble configurations. This book also serves pianists who accompany multiple brass instruments, since the flexible instrumentation and alternate accompaniments mean one book covers the full range of instruments on the series.
How to get the most out of it
- Download the audio files using the codes included with your book to hear how each solo should sit stylistically and rhythmically before diving into practice.
- Confirm your specific solo selection with your director or state music association early in the season, since approval varies by state even within this curated list.
- Use the piano accompaniment to maintain steady tempo during sectional or private lesson rehearsals; the flexibility to swap parts means you can rehearse with colleagues on different instruments.
How to use it
Pull one or two solos from this book as required repertoire selections for your end-of-year solo festival or competition prep season. The variety means different students can claim different titles, creating a diverse recital or competition day lineup while keeping them all from the same vetted resource.
